    Okay, I would recommend looking through the pill concocting tag anyway then. https://www.novelupdates.com/stag/pill-concocting/

    that tag is trash. if there is one sentence in a ten thousand chapter about pill concocting, the tag goes there.

    read it. the alchemy part is really well done but sadly, it's only a tiny part...

    read it. fuck ash. hopefully we get a better translator

    Strongest Abandoned Son.

    Most of the early chapter is about him gathering plants in order to cultivate.

    Cultivation Chat Group. It started out with him concocting medicine, although it's not discussed further, it's entertaining as hell....

    I Have Medicine - xianxia focused on pill concocting. It's BL, but up until chapter 200 or so (I can't remember) there's no romance. You would have to read raws though, it's not translated.

    Edit: agreed on Battle Through the Heavens

    Battle Through the Heavens
    know MC's master is a world renowned pill master and MC is to (have only read a bit of the manga/hanahu/manahwa).

    Sovereign of the Three Realms
    MC was one of the best pill masters in existence before he died, and is often involved in pill related matters.

    The Alchemist God
    have never read the story just havve a feeling it is somthing along the line of what you are looking for.

    finished BTTH
    i have medicine is...bl...
    sotr is not what i'm looking for. i dropped it. he just gives away pill recipes and doesn't really do any pill concocting...also it's fustrating how he eventually ignores and forgets all the side characters..

    as for The Alchemist God, people said that it has nothing to do with alchemy after the start...kinda like DMWG which is trash

    If you liked BTTH you can try Battle Through the Heavens Prequel – The Legend of Yao Lao.
    But as far as i know nobody is translating it anymore.

    Let me clarify,
    U want stress on the pill concoction concept only, or do u want something that has medicine as a side occupation?

    The Strongest Gene
    Its not really pill making, but extremely similar alchemy like stuff like reagents and the such, it's based in a semi modern while Xianxia like world and uses genes as the main focus, such as creating a explosive reagent using genes of a dangerous beast or whatnot. It's good and the main character does a lot of this. Although most the time it's not super in depth it's still enjoyable to read.
